As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote My twins soared thru Woodlawn Elementary with the finest teachers for each of them. Keep up the good work teachers and staff! Close Quote


by a parent
Monday, October 10, 2011

Open Quote My son switched from Eastside in D.S. to Woodlawn this year. He's in 2nd grade. We've not been impressed or happy with anything this school has, or should I say, doesn't have to offer. There is no extra help and I've conferened with the teachers many times and they don't see concerned. He has 26 students in his class, which is too many in my opinion. The teachers yell and literally tell the students to "shut up". That is not acceptable in my opinion and have made several complaints. I will probably be seeking private school next year. I initially intended to get him into a magnet program but his grades have dropped drastically since last year due to him being depressed about going to this school and the lack of help we've received.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
